Frequently Asked Questions

Are ranch style homes common in the Upper Valley of New Hampshire?

Ranch homes are present throughout the Upper Valley but are less dominant than the capes, colonials, and farmhouses that characterize much of the region's housing stock. They appear more frequently in the established residential neighborhoods of Lebanon, Claremont, and Enfield than in the rural hill towns, where older New England styles predominate.

What distinguishes a ranch style home in this market from other architectural styles?

Ranch homes in the Upper Valley are typically single-story or story-and-a-half structures built in the post-World War II decades, often with attached garages and more open floor plans than older cape or colonial designs. They tend to sit on modest lots in town neighborhoods, though rural examples on larger parcels are also available.
